Long live old truckers is that a four.
He wasn't paid by anyone, entirely done out of the goodness of his heart, You probably meen "Fisherman" Eddie was slightly disabled, so couldn't get out much. He even took a handheld into hospital with him, to keep in touch.
Others were "Pirate" Joe, "Rodbender" Bob. Used to deliver in the Sheffield area so got to know em all great lads.

Dave "Busybee" or if in a teasing mood "Major Bumsore"
